President, don't be arrogant!

"If she wants to pick you up, let her pick it up. If she wants to go to heaven, why don't you buy her a Sky-Speeding Monkey?" Lu Xiangbei roared furiously. If he had known that the old guy was so unreliable, he would not have looked for him. .

"I don't care what method you use, immediately ask someone else to take over this case. If you can't find someone, I can do it. In short, she can't follow this case anymore!"

"Xu Zhiyan, let me warn you. I entrusted her to you to take good care of her. Don't let her be bullied, let alone be wronged. Treat her as your own daughter. You don't have a daughter anyway. For nothing. Having such an excellent daughter, you can enjoy it secretly! If you don't take good care of her, I will ruin your office, sir!"

"You already know I have this temper, huh!" Lu Xiangbei cut off the phone, his bluish-white face became paler, he coughed violently, and beads of sweat slowly ooze from his forehead.

After finally calming down his cough, he took a few deep breaths, and then walked into the elevator that had just arrived.

The moment the elevator descended, a thin figure appeared around the corner. It was Qiao Ran who was chasing after him and trying to sneak a look at him.

She stopped when she heard that Lu Xiangbei was on the phone with someone, wondering in her heart that he was talking with someone, the more she listened, the more she felt something was wrong, she felt that he seemed to be talking about herself.

Until he yelled out the words "Xu Zhiyan", Qiao Ran's mind went blank with a buzz.

He knew Xu Zhiyan, and from his tone, the relationship between the two of them seemed to be very good.

I was able to be Xu Zhiyan's apprentice because... Lu Xiangbei?

This cognition made Qiao Ran's mind even more confused.

They broke up, didn't they?Why does he still help himself like this?

The compensation given to her because of guilt is still...

Qiao Ran was very confused, she wanted to know the answer, maybe Xu Zhiyan could give her an explanation.

………………

When Qiao Ran returned to the law firm, Xu Zhiyan was in the office and was about to leave work when he saw her startled.

Qiao Ran asked straight to the point: "Master, why did you hire me and accept me as an apprentice?"

Xu Zhiyan's eyes flickered slightly, and he showed a kind smile, "Didn't I tell you that you have great potential..."

Qiao Ran didn't want to hear such words, so she cut him off decisively, "Master, you don't want to talk about this, so let me change the question, what is your relationship with Lu Xiangbei?"

Xu Zhiyan's expression was slightly startled, and he quickly realized that nothing had happened. He calmly asked without answering, "Why do you ask this all of a sudden?"

"Today I met Lu Xiangbei in court, and I heard him calling you!" Qiao Ran stared straight at him, she said everything so clearly, does he still have to hide it?

Xu Zhiyan sighed: "If that kid finds out, he will probably overturn my office."

"He won't!" With a calm and determined tone, Qiao Ran spoke slowly under Xu Zhiyan's curious eyes, "I'm here."

During the conversation with Xu Zhiyan, it was so obvious that Lu Xiangbei cared about him, she was not a fool to feel it.

Xu Zhiyan smiled helplessly, "I really doubt that you two were sent by God to restrain me. Well, I'll tell you..."

"Lu Xiangbei and I have known each other for many years. Back then, I saw his talent and wanted to accept him as an apprentice, but that little bastard refused. We argued for a long time, and in the end he didn't become my apprentice. I have become close friends, so I don’t talk too much. Before you came to apply for the job, I received a call from him. He said that if a girl from Qiao Ran came to the law firm to apply, she must be hired. Let me accept you as an apprentice, he praised you to the sky. Originally, I was just perfunctory him, but I didn’t expect that you really came, and you are really as good as he said. I appreciate you very much, and accepted you as he wished. I made you my only apprentice!"

On the way back, Qiao Ran was sure it was him, but when she heard Xu Zhiyan admit it with her own ears, her heart was still deeply shocked.

If it was just because he wanted to make up for himself because of guilt, he would have done his best to let Xu Zhiyan hire him. Why did Xu Zhiyan insist on accepting him as an apprentice, and even made Xu Zhiyan love him like a daughter on the phone.

Why does he care about her so much, treat her so well, how can she let him go, even let him go.

Xu Zhiyan looked at her distraught look, took a deep breath, and said earnestly: "I don't know what happened between you, but I really haven't seen him care about any woman like this, it seems that the brat really loves misery is you."

Eyelashes as thin as cicada's wings trembled violently, like a person walking in the dark suddenly seeing a ray of light, full of hope, "Master, do you also think that he... loves me?"

It's not her self-righteousness, it's not her self-indulgence.

Xu Zhiyan nodded: "I'm telling you very clearly from a man's standpoint that he loves you, although I don't understand why you guys broke up, and he even wants you to find a good man to fall in love with and marry."

"He...wants me to date and marry another man?" Qiao Ran was stunned.

"He probably said something angry! After all, he was drunk when he called me, very drunk." Xu Zhiyan explained.

Qiao Ran's eyelashes turned upside down, as if she was thinking about something, and after a while she suddenly glanced and said: "Master, can you help me with this case, I have a very important thing to do."

"I'll take charge of this case personally, and I'll give you a week's vacation!" Xu Zhiyan was very forthright. Before, Qiao Ran went to work every day and had almost no rest, so giving her a week's vacation was not too much.

"Thank you Master, I have something to do and I will leave first."

"Go." Xu Zhiyan looked at her back and ran out impatiently.

There seemed to be no sighs in the silent office, and that was all he could do.

……

Qiao Ran ran out of the office and didn't immediately find a way to go north.

My intuition told me that even if I went to confront him, he would not admit it.

He has something to hide from himself, there must be a very important thing that he doesn't know, and it's because of this that he pushed himself away cruelly.

Lu Xiangbei will not tell herself the truth, she can only find out the truth by herself!

Qiao Ran got into the car, grabbed the handbag from the co-pilot, turned to her cell phone, found the number and dialed it.

"Zixi, it's me...I have something very important to ask for your help, I beg you to help me!"

After cutting off the phone, Qiao Ran held the phone tightly in both hands, eager and panicked at the truth about what was about to be known.

........................

In the hospital, the air is filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.

The people who came and went were either patients, family members or friends of patients, and everyone had different expressions.

The patient recovered, and the family members were full of smiles, while the patient was seriously ill, and the family members were sad, as if it was the end of the world.

Qiao Ran stood in the middle of the corridor, facing the nurses and patients pushing the hospital bed and yelling, "Get out of the way, get out of the way..."

She didn't seem to hear it, and was directly knocked to the ground.

"What's the matter with you? You get out of the way so loudly, can't you hear?" the nurse said angrily.
